Changing boot order???

[mychl]

in my var/log/boot.msg I have found that my firewall is trying to start before my NICs are activated. This is causeing the firewall to not start at boot up. After, I can start it from the CL, but how can I change it so the NICs are activated before the firewall script is called.

I looked in my /etc/rc.d/rc1-5.d and saw the link to my init, setup, and final scripts for the firewall. Can I just put a link in one of the rc#.d to start sooner?

thanks

Have I seen you in #debian on OPN? Just wondering.

Anyway, what you need to do is make sure that the number after S in the link to your firewall comes after whatever brings up your network interface. Like if you had an init script for networking named S20network, you'd want your firewall to be like S21firewall. Or, to be totally safe, just throw it at S99firewall and it will start last :)
